Figure legends
Figure 1. Preoperative macroscopic findings of Case 1 (left ankle). Anteroposterior view in neutral position (A). Passive varus instability is moderately observed (B), but no passive valgus deformity is observed (C).
Figure 2. Preoperative radiographs of Case 1 (left ankle). Anteroposterior (A) and lateral (B) views when standing. The joint space of the talocrural joint is irregular. Narrowing of the joint space is detected in the talofibular joint (A). Larsen Grade IV is determined in the talocrural joint and Grade III in the subtalar joint.
Figure 3. Postoperative radiographs of Case 1 (left ankle) just after surgery (A, B) and at 6 months after surgery (C, D).
Figure 4. Preoperative macroscopic findings of Case 2 (left ankle). Anteroposterior (A) and posteroanterior (B) views. Hallux valgus deformity and a remarkable calcaneovalgus deformity are observed.
Figure 5. Preoperative radiographs of Case 2 (left ankle). Anteroposterior (A) and lateral (B) views when standing. The joint space of the talocrural joint is irregular. Larsen Grade IV is determined in both the talocrural and subtalar joints.
Figure 6. Postoperative radiographs of Case 2 (left ankle) just after surgery (A, B), at 4 months after surgery (C, D), and at 12 months after surgery (E, F). Osseous fusion is achieved.
Figure 7. One year postoperative macroscopic findings of Case 2 (left ankle). Anteroposterior (A), posteroanterior (B), and lateral (C) views on weight-bearing position. Tibiotalar alignment is corrected.
